What do I think about the Infiniti FX35?
I love the car. It took me 6 weeks of research to finally go out and purchase this vehicle. Its a 2004 FX35 and its plain beautiful. The car looks lively and it makes me look at my life differently. No doubt, I consider myself lucky to have come across such a car that brings both fun and thrill in to my life.

LOVEMYINFINITI
To tell you that I'm crazy about my 45FX, is to tell you that I also own a MB CL500..... and the CL stays in the garage! FX handles, drives and sits the way you imagine the Porsche Cayanne would.... at trade in time I'll just get another FX!
Close to perfect
I love the power and handling. The ride on poor roads is harsher than I expected but given the handling, I can live with it. The seats may be the most comfortable I have ever had in a car
Never thought I would drive and SUV
I always made fun of SUV drivers. I told myself that I would never compromise the fun of sports car driving for the utility of an SUV. That is until I drove the FX series! Wow! all the performance and utility I could want and more. Handles like its glued to the road, comparable low road noise, solid acceleration and hot looks!
Infiniti FX35 RWD
Liquid Copper FX35 with Brick interior purchased Aug 03. RWD. Sport and premium packages (20" wheels). Fantastic performance for under $40,000. Constant head-turner. Tech package (DVD nav and entertainment, keyless drive, radar cruise, rear view camera) too pricey (4,500 more than mine). Added aftermarket Audiovox 9" DVD screen (factory 7"), and Alpine VCR. Works AWESOME! No service problems. Only warranty work for blown dash speakers (oops) and rear cup holder. Sub woofer in trunk std with premium package!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This vehicle is WORLD CLASS! The handling is unbelievable. It corners like it is on rails. We took the vehicle to Toronto and the Navigation system worked like a charm; What a terrific option. The laser cruise control is very high tech and makes driving on long trips a pleasure. This vehicle is sneaky fast and the gas mileage has been 24+ on the highway moving at a pretty good clip. :-)
Fantasitc value
Great car. It has everything the more expensive SUV's have and much more. This SUV performs like a race car but looks way more agressive...fun to drive and with all the bells and whistles.
I love it!
Our Infiniti FX35 is great. We love the style, the comfort, the awesome handling & performance, the AWD & safety features, the technology - this "mid-size SUV" or "wagon" - whatever you want to call it - is wonderful. It is so fun to drive, and is so comfortable, we can't wait to drive it every weekend (we live in NYC, so don't drive it much on the weekdays).
Yearn to Drive
This is an auto/something I look forward to driving. Everything from the performance to the wonderful sound system makes it a true joy to drive.
Kurt F's Review
This is an absolutely fantastic car to drive. It is one of most fun cars I've ever driven. It acts like a sport car even though it's an all whell drive SUV. Handling is tremedous as it feels like a sports car. The only drawback is the rougher ride on city streets. I have the 20" wheels and they say the 18" wheels rides a little smoother but doesn't look or handle as good. I get tons of looks in this car. It definatly is a futuristic looking car and acts like one too. So far it's a great vehicle and really fun to drive.
Great riding, fun car
A gorgeous vehicle ... styling really turns heads. Excellent and sporty ride - very comfortable as you'd expect in a luxury car, yet you definitely feel the road. Handles noticably better than the Lexus (we test drove both, and the Lexus skidded on dry pavement). Cockpit is nicely laid out. If you can afford it, get the Navigation package (included with Sport package). It's very accurate and a helpful tool.
we love it
This was our first suv/crossover and we both can't wait to drive this vehicle - The seat allows you to ride high up (almost like sitting in a chair) and its so comfortable. Hitting the petal to the metal bring out the real strength of this auto - It moves real fast and I fell in control. My only disappointment is that we did not get the navagation package as it's $+4000 more.
FX 35
I didn't like the look of this vehicle when I first saw it. However, the look "grew" on me. I have said it's so ugly it's cute!! I am very pleased with the ride and features of this vehicle. Coming from a S430 I don't feel as though I compromised too much. The only complaint I have is the gas mileage. I am only getting 15 miles to the gallon
New era SUV
V 6 is peppy. Handles like a sports car. Not at all trucky. Most comforable drivers seat I've ever experienced in an SUV.
A must adventure
Be sure to include the Technology Pkg. Handles like a dream. The quirky exterior is a plus. I can not say enough good things about this vehicle. I am excited and look forward to cruising the asphalt. Not to be confused with the Nissan Murano. The bad rap on rear seat comfort is unwarranted.
love my infinity
very difficult to put the rear seats at the proper angle. You either have to stretch through the back to reach the handle or stretch through the rear side door to the handle. I also miss from the qx4 the three way compass.This only has a one direction compass. I also miss the little safe in the back to hide wallets etc.
Nice car
The car handles like the sports car. Awsome growl when throttle is applied. Overall its a tight package, that compiles SUV, sports car, and muscle into 1 family friendly package. Really would be nice to see a more potent and breathtaking second generation put into production, some time before 2010.
Best car I ever drove in 25 years
I only have the vehicle 2 weeks. The ride is total luxury. Handling is as good as my husbands Corvette. I feel much safer than I did in the Mercedes ML320. Extremely comfortable and convenient with the Navigation system. I would recommend this car to anyone that would like the Luxury of a Sedan, the handling and speed of a sports car, and the versatility of an SUV. Infiniti has put out one terrific vehicle. I am not easy to please but I love this car.
Feels like you're in the Batmobile!!!
This car is incredible! I have been researching this vehicle for some time now and finally took the plunge and got it this weekend. I cannot begin to tell you what joy it is to drive! The lines on this car are beautiful and it really has nice pickup. I am particularly impressed with the Bose 11-speaker sound system; it truly ROCKS!
Awesome power, handling, but rough ride.
I bought this car with Premium, Technology, and Sports Package for $45K out the door. I had this car for less than two months and already put 7000 miles on it. There are no other cars within it's price/class can compare to FX35's power, performance, standard features, and handling. I defininitely recommend the Technology Package. The rear camera and nav will come in handy. I average about 17 city/19 highway miles per gallon. If you plan on taking this car on long trips (over 2 hrs), forget it! It's a VERY rough/stiff ride, especially for the passengers in the back.
Only Gets Better
Gets better the more its driven!
Great vehicle
This car has unbeleivable pep. You become an extension of this car when you're driving it, it's a part of you. It is super intelligent.
FUN WAGON!
A very fun car to drive, more fun than my Corvette (which I just sold) A real attention getter. No problems as yet. If you can live with the ride, you will love it.
LOVE THIS CAR
I just purchased my car. I traded in my Audi A4 1.8T and thought I would miss it. NOT! This car is so much fun to drive it should be illegal! At first I didn't like the exterior look because it looks like an overgrown car but it grew on me and now I like that it looks so different! It is way too comfortable to drive and now I don't care if I am stuck in traffic! Bring on the traffic because I don't want to get out! I love the navigation system. I feel safe no matter where I am because it gets me to my destination. Love the Bose system. I would be here all day. Go get this car!!
Tried the rest and liked this best
Tried the Touareg, Pacifica, ML 350, Envoy, SRX, MDX and XC 90. Each had a nitch but the FX35 won for a SUV that begs to be driven. If you need a third seat look else where. Firm controlled ride, nice dash layout and all the little extras make this a true jewel among the crossover SUVs. Mine has the Technology, premium and sport packages. You can't hide in this vechical as people are always giving it the once over. May not have the hauling or towing ability of some but what a blast to drive!!!
Truly Enjoyable
This 2004 FX 35 is probably the most enjoyable and fun car that I have ever owned. I have had Corvettes, Mercedes, Lincolns, Mercurys, Fords, Fiats,Dodge Stealt, Diamante and this car seems to have put together all the best features of all these automobiles into the FX. Infiniti has put together a great car and I have received nothing but compliments from friends and a lot of strangers. Performance and handling are fantastic, the gas mileage is at best fair but compared with other SUV's the gas mileage is good.
Fx the best SUV Ever build
This Suv not only turn heads but the performance is awesome i had a lexus rx300 before and let me tell you in regards to gadgets and gizmos fx have them all .
More car than SUV
Well I ahve always driven trucks. So this is quite a change. The somewhat stiff suspension is not a problem for me. And the luxurious interior is very nice.
Cool,Classy,and Comfortable
I've bought my infiniti fX35 less than a month ago and it has, thus far, lived up to all of my expectations. This vehicle's exterior gives you a sense of sophistication and class mixed with a sporty youthfullness. It bears a very spacious interior wraped in leather. Finally, the FX35 carries the presence of a SUV but drives and handles like a car, reason being it has the same engine block as the G35.
Pretty Good FX
I have owned the car for almost a year and it has been pretty good. No major problems,just a whole lot of rattles and a couple of recalls. I don't know why everyone raves about foreign cars,this is my second Infiniti and they are both worse than any American car I have ever owned.
Power vs cargo room
I bought this car and had the pleasure of driving it for 5 days until a women hit me in the front. Two weeks later the INS company said it's totaled. My rental FX was w/ RWD which I could not stand, since it slipped on wet surfaces even w/ VDC. AWD is a must as is the Tech package- wonderful no key entry and smart cruise control. This car has excellent power for a V6 and on smooth highways you can go wa too fast (can't say) without realizing it. - sun roof needs to open more. It is small and a panoramic like the new X5 should be consiedered. - Dual AC control is nice
Awesome!!!
I love my FX! I've had it on a lease for 4 yrs. The car handles great! LOVE the chrome wheels as well as the red color (which they stop making in 2004). Its an eyecatcher! The only problems are the squeaker brakes and a noise when I turn the car to left. Gas mileage isn't the greatest either. The seats also tend to split from the heat. Other than that the car was awesome to own and fun to drive! Unfortunately my lease is up and I opted to buy another SUV instead of leasing a 2009 FX. But I have SUPER great memories and I will hate to see this car go!!!! The only other thing I notice is the mirror paint or color tends to fad with time.
The Ads Are Right
This car is great! It attracts attention everywhere I go. I've actually returned to my car in a parking lot and found a crowd admiring it. When I see it from a distance, I'm reminded of its size...its big, but drives like a little sports car.
Funnest Car to drive
It is the funnest car to drive since my BMW 745I! It rides great for a SUV
fuuuuuuuun
i've owned many cars and trucks and i've never had such an exhilaratibg driving experience. it's like riding space mountain everyday!
What a Ride!!!!!!
Just purchased a FX35 black with chrome 20" rims, Tech,Sport,Touring package (It turns heads everywhere I go). This car is a blast to drive. It has taken care of my sports car mid life crisis needs! I test drove the X5, MDX, and the Lexus. They are all nice, but nothing like the FX. Test drive one for yourself, but a word of caution, be perpared to buy!
accident-and love it
I was recently rear ended by a young person that was not paying attention, and her car was totaled, I had minor damage to the bumper. Most important is I have major back problems and this vehicle saved me from immediate surgery!
PERFECTO !!!!
Finaly I've found a perfect car for me and my family. It's very comfortable with sport soul at the same time... Thank You INFINITI !!!
WOW!!!
It has everything and more than I expected. Got a FX35 loaded with all the toys, (DVD Entertainment center, NAV, Rear Back up camera and 20 inch wheels) and still some $$ left over while getting the looks from the girls! With all the amenities it comes with its hard not to love it. Just the sound of the engine and the dual chrome exhausts gives me the chills. I LOVE driving it! Really gives the Porsche Cayenne a run for its money! Gotta try it before you make any decisions!
Wow! Total surprise
This car was a total surprise. I leased it thinking that it was just another suv built by Nissan's Infiniti. I was wrong. This car, cause that's what is, a car, is wonderful. It's a jacked up sport wagon that seat 5 quite comfortable, an amazing interior, and handles like my old bmw z3. Around town it's so nimble you wouldn't think you're driving an suv. On the highway, it flies.
One Sweet Car
We looked at every car in this class and were leaning towards the Lexus. After driving both the Lexus and the Infinity several times it became clear that the FX is far and away the superior car in it's class. Now that we've purchased our FX we love every minute in it. The special features packed into this car are to numerous to list, but it's been a true joy getting to know and understand each one of them.
Infiniti
This SUV Rules. I own 12 infinits already but this one is my favorite. The features are awesome and the care rules. this it the hotest and sexiest suv on the road.
A sports car and SUV in one
Just bought a brand new 2004 FX-35 with Technology Package. It is not a car, neither it is an SUV. It is something in the middle. It proves that by its versatile handling and manuvering capabilities (may only apply to AWD). THe center of gravity is kept low to provide stability and you can feel it. Engine roars when you push the pedal (unlike Lexus you can hear the engine roar in the cabin). Technology Package is a must have.
FX35 2 year Review
Good solid performance; good design. Mileage is poor (17 mpg @ best highway). . .
Best vehicle I ever drove/owned
This is the vehicle for people who hate to drive or love to drtve. I normally hate to drive, but, find myself making trips just to get into it and DRIVE!
Great Car
Love the looks handles great in the mountains and on very windy roads.
Simply the Best
When you have a convertible and the wife says that we need a new car and yours is just too small, Look out! The deal was that I had to buy a car that had AWD for the snow, and somewhere to put the dog (not that we have one yet). It also had to be large enough to move the plethora of things from storage. Ok that's what the wife wanted. I wanted a sports car. Something that really let you know you were driving. Guess what? The only real sports car that fulfilled my wife's demands and my deisres was the Inifiniti. All the reviews and hype about the FX-35 were spot on. If you like the styling you will love everything else.
right pedal=smile on face
An absolute joy to rive. Even more fun with the technology package which feature the latest in automotive gadgets. Child in rear with DVD and headphones on cannot hear music at fairly loud levels. A FUN and sport car with a backpack!
FX35
When I first saw the exterior of the car I liked it a lot and when I sat down in the driving seat, at the dealer, I really like the car. And when I test drove the car I decided to buy it. And I love to drive it. Is very comfortable and I like the way that drives, a lot of power and luxury style. I planning to get another one for my wife too.
